Washington Yu Ying PCS posts some great news about a emerging Urban Forests. Check out t...
Hello again, The Grove!
We here at Yu Ying have been working hard on the final cleanup and replanting for 2012, in our Nature Center. Our one acre lot is now (almost) free of trash and permeable paths have been installed to allow students a safer and more beautiful walk to the school. Our number one goal has been to create a fully functioning, educational urban forest for our students to learn from, but we are also happy to announce that our new paths allow our students to be dropped off behind the school instead of on the very busy street in front of the school, provided a much needed functional benefit.
Since our last post, we have also done a round of replanting with all native species of understory species and a few new trees. Thanks to a lot of very muddy volunteer hours from our staff and parents, we have planted almost 300 new plants, including dogwoods, different viburnum, ferns, spicebush, a lot of different forest-edge flowers and plants that will work to produce nectar and attract more wildlife. We'll be posting pictures of our new plantings as we get the time.
Also...we wanted to leave a special thank you to all of our partners that have provided advice, volunteer hours, funding or materials thus far: US Forest Service International Programs, University of Minnesota, Earth Sangha, Project Learning Tree, DC Department of the Environment, Hands On DC, Indiana University DC Alumni and our amazing parent community who has been patient with us and helped throughout the entire process.
